Monsanto is a extremely well funded, lawyered up, business and politically savvy, corporation.
In my opinion they are the ultimate evil James Bond scale bad guys.
I find these truths to be self evident.

Back in my youth, mid-50's, a Monsanto engineer/executive type bought my grandfathers house next door. OK, next door was a third of a mile, but they were neighbors, his kids went to my school, yada, yada, yada.

I would listen to him tell the adults about the future Monsanto was planning, and wanted to play a big roll in shaping. To a ten year old kid, it sounded Buck Rogers here we come. And being immersed in agriculture, I knew the food production predictions were incredible, but in the 50's scientists could do... or undo... anything.

Oh, and do you know why we don't have flying fuckin' cars? Because Monsanto wasn't interested.
